For storing white wine:

- Optimal Temperature: Maintain storage temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) for best preservation of flavor and aroma. Specifically for Pinot Gris avoid exceeding about 47°F to preserve its delicate profile.

- Light Exposure: Store the wine in a dark place away from direct sunlight or harsh artificial light to prevent degradation and premature aging.

- Sealing: Keep the bottle with the original cork firmly in place. Avoid storing open bottles with corks that have dried out as this may cause oxidation. Once opened re-cork tightly or use a vacuum wine stopper to minimize exposure to air.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles horizontally to keep the cork moist preventing it from drying and allowing air ingress. This helps maintain an airtight seal for unopened bottles.

- Humidity: Maintain relative humidity around 70% to help preserve cork integrity and prevent it from drying out which can compromise the seal.

- Special storage tips: Avoid significant fluctuations in temperature and vibrations as these can prematurely age or damage the wine. For opened bottles consume within a few days and store refrigerated with proper sealing to limit oxidation.

These guidelines ensure the white wine retains its optimal freshness and quality during both unopened and post-opening storage.
